This is a great segment of the Ice Age Trail. I was only able to walk about a mile of it, as I was a bit pressed for time, but I enjoyed what I saw. The trail itself is pretty clean and well marked however, the entrance is not. There is a small sign that is easy to miss and the parking lot is pulled back a bit behind some trees.

The hike is on the easier side for a uphill trek. Most of the path before the top is fully exposed to sunlight so it usually is dryer than most trails in the area! Nice views from the top and trail continues to other north parking area through a...
